Hot!! 100+ degrees in unshaded places. AC on in the truck makes moving around possible. L and I just got back from a muggy movie--Ladies in Lavender--good flick. Smith and Densch make a great sisterly odd couple. Plot was fairly straight forward--nothing too unexpected, but an enjoyable film.

We had a scrumptious dinner beforehand--I had salmon with corn/crab cakes and wilted spinach. Delicious. Even though we had key lime (authentic key lime) pie for dessert, we still stopped for a Cold Stone ice cream after the show. I may gain back some of the weight I lost.

Dreamed last night of working on the creation of a board game. Somehow, the action involved two families--mine (wife, kids) and a co-worker (husband, kids). There were some subtleties in the game that I had worked out. We were play testing the latest versions with our two families.

There was some brain twisting that I had to do to come up with the right mix of tension and fun when the game was played. I had worked it out earlier, before the time of the dream. The dream was about me trying to recreate what I had done earlier. It hadn't been fully written down and I was struggling to recall what I had done before.

Awoke with images of the game board and playing pieces being used by the kids. I was watching the gameplay and making notes regarding possible modifications.

It's early to bed tonight. Up early in the morrow to trek to the beach while the sun is low and the temps are as well. Sleeply times and dreams that are a making.
